Good to hear they've got production back up and running. I ordered my 650B Atlantis in Feb and the waiting is hard. On Friday, June 30, 2017 at 6:26:32 PM UTC-7, RandoNate wrote: > > I ordered my 56cm 650b Atlantis in October. Just got the update that > Waterford will be done with the frame on

[RBW] Re: Delight of rain

I wonder how much insulation the bike tires would provide, assuming one was hit while riding? Growing up in England, I heard a number of accounts of people surviving a lightning strike because of wearing wellington (rubber) boots. Wouldn't want to test theory, myself. ianA/Canada -- You rec

[RBW] Re: Shipping to U.K.

Absolute best thing is to take them as accompanied baggage. Shipping through a courier service will be costly and the bikes are probably (although maybe not?) over-dimension for USPS. Receiving complications in the UK (customs clearance, local delivery, handling fees) make it an unattractive op

[RBW] Re: Road Rash (no pictures)

Hello Jay, Hope the rash heals quickly. Slap some pure Aloe Vera on it if you have some. I stocked-up on Vittoria Hyper when Planet X had them on sale, but sold on the unused ones and retired the used ones because of having incidents exactly like you describe. I had a number of slips, most of

[RBW] Re: In praise of Spur-cycles bells

Those Lion bells are brilliant! I just Google searched Lion Bellworks and found their website. You can have your bell personally engraved, and they are not too expensive for a quality product made in England. On Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at 1:37:12 PM UTC-6, fug...@gmail.com wrote: > > I've had m

[RBW] Re: You meet the nicest people on a Rivendell!

This is a great story. Similar things have happened to me. I was at a drive thru once and when I came to the window, the attendant said the person in front already paid for me. Complete strangers just being kind. People are good. IanA On Monday, June 26, 2017 at 2:13:49 PM UTC-6, Patrick Moore

[RBW] Re: 58cm Atlantis for sale $1,100

+1. I've enjoyed reading the epic very cold winter ride reports on the Atlantis that Mark was posting for a while. The Romanceur with its 26" wheels should be suitable for even greater adventures. Ian On Tuesday, June 20, 2017 at 5:06:12 AM UTC-6, Christopher Cote wrote: > >

Re: [RBW] Shifting Mystery - Help

No one has mentioned free movement of derailleur cable - just make sure it is not snagging or dragging at all. IanA On Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 9:56:51 PM UTC-6, Tim O. (Portland, OR) wrote: > > Thanks, y'all! Sounds like I have some more fiddling to do. I'll report > back with my results! -

[RBW] Re: Snoqualmie Wow

Looks like there is room for full-coverage fenders with that set-up. Although, I expect you'll want to put the Ralphs back on when the snow flies. I now have a number of rides on Hetres (584x41) and they float along. What surprises me is their ability to deal with really poor condition pavement

[RBW] Re: Platform Pedal Recommendation for Sam

No one's mentioned the Shimano M324, so I'll chime in for those. Flat one side and clipless the other. I have an 11.5 foot (wide) and for some reason the M324s work really well for me. For longer rides, I like to clip in, but I also like to wear sneakers, hiking boots or Vibram Five Fingers and

[RBW] Re: Thunder Burts v. Racing Ralphs

Thanks for sharing this Patrick. I'm keen to try some TBs when my current tires wear out. Would you mind measuring the diameter of the wheel/tire combo? I would like to have an idea if they will fit under my fenders. IanA On Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 12:28:54 PM UTC-6, Deacon Patrick wrote: >

Those old Suntour retrofriction bar cons are really nice. I have those and Shimano ones and for friction action, the Suntour feel better to me. IanA. On Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 12:28:04 PM UTC-6, Kevin Tzeng wrote: > > I have an old suntour retrofriction bar con. Let me know if you are > inte
